NAMCO BANDAI GAMES TRIONCUBE NOW
SHIPPING ACROSS NORTH AMERICA

Exceptionally Fun Nintendo DS
Puzzle Game Now Available

Leading video games publisher and
developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today announced that the cute and
entertaining Nintendo DSTM puzzle game Trioncube™, is now shipping to retail
outlets across North America and will be available in stores beginning February
20, 2007.

“We are pleased to announce that
Nintendo DS owners across North America will now be able to get their hands on
this simple, yet addictive puzzle game.” Yoshi Niki, Director of Namco
Localization said, “With its quirky premise, challenging gameplay modes and
customization options Trioncube has a universal appeal to players of all ages.”

In Trioncube, players must embark on
a journey across eight planets into the depths of space, as the captain of the
mighty space ship Penko, to rescue the princess from the grasp of Hellmetal.
Players reach this goal by creating a Trioncube – a series of 3x3 blocks, which
start a chain reaction that refuels the Penko. Players try to create as big a
chain as they can before time runs out and the Trioncube is broken. The bigger
the chain made, the farther distance the Penko will travel across the galaxy.

Featuring four gameplay modes
(Arcade, Story, Endless and Vs) Trioncube will provide endless fun for even the
most seasoned puzzler. Unlike your typical puzzler where players try to quickly
erase as many blocks as possible, Trioncube will have players in an ecstatic
frenzy as they try to create the ultimate 3x3 chain in a new type of thrilling
puzzle experience. As they progress through the game, players will have to use
different strategies to deal with new shapes in order to create the ultimate
chain. Players will be able to collect coins as they create the Trioncube chain
and purchase various unique backgrounds and effects - like sushi rolls, dogs and
tambourines jumping out of the Trioncube – as they travel the galaxy in their
Penko.
